Laboratory Diagnosis of Infectious Diseases: Essentials of Diagnostic Microbiology (Purchased on 09/27/2009) by Paul White (New Zealand)  5 Stars
October 28, 2009
Excellent (rarely have I thought that about reference books). Well written (very readable) making it very accessible for the reader. The material is well structured into chapters that can be tackled one at a time ensuring the book is not a daunting read (you don't need a long stretch in solitary to get through it!). Overall a very good introduction, as a non-medically trained epidemiologist this book is what I have been looking for a while. It provides just the right amount of detail and background to laboratory testing for infectious diseases that I need to engage with my diagnostic colleagues. A book I would certainly recommend.

great book by Shannon L. Carr (Pittsburgh PA) 5 Stars
December 11, 2008
I'll be honest, I am a slow learner... This book is great, it's has great explanations. I started studying this the summer before the actual class and totally understood the concepts before it was taught to me (thats not an easy thing for me to do). I have an "A" in class thus far and a lot of it is due to the book itself explaining everything in great detail and easy to understand English!!
